It’s just a small quilt, 32" by 40", but it makes a statement I think. Then again these are my favourite colours and when combined, yum!

The back:
This was going to be a donation quilt, and it still may very well be, but I may list it in my Etsy shop and see what happens... I actually feel like I made a bit of a dent in my scraps and strips this year.
It is the absolutely perfect print, no? Since it could easily fit on a width of fabric, I went to my yardage stash, perusing the blues, greens and purples shelves. Well, this Michael Miller print I picked up at Craftsy years ago was just perfect. Sadly, I'd used about 4" of it for I don't know what. Still, the width of the fabric was more than 42", so the length of the quilt fit across it no problem, and I added those inches in a navy tonal.
When I was verifying the name of the fabric, I happened to pull up a Canadian shop, The Quilt Store, where you can get some and?! It's on sale for a terrific price, $11.88/metre! They have it in aqua too, not mmm-nabling my readers, nope...
I finally used a long strip of purple binding from the leftover binding bag with another strip and a half cut from another purple in the same line, made binding short work.

ReplyDeleteOh so lovely! I continue to admire your dedication to denting the scrap stash and making beautiful pieces with those scraps.
ReplyDeleteMy scrappy projects don't look anywhere near as wonderful as your's does. Love the sunshine rippling down on it too!
ReplyDeleteI love these colors together, too. I love the photo of it cascading down your stairs. I am sure how ever you choose to re-home this quilt, it will be loved by its recipient!
ReplyDeleteThe solution on the back is perfect! It must not be one piece…. Working with scraps is like meditation… did you think about letting the colours flow a little bit from turquis alittle bit into the purpleand some purple into the green and some green in some blue? Love the four colours as well very much and they work so well together! Super quilt for donation and most important… finished! Greetings eva
ReplyDeleteA very fun finish. Those are my favorite colors to sew with too, so I have lots of scraps in those colors.
